Module Annotation

Provides classes and predicates for working with Java annotations.

Annotations are used to add meta-information to language elements in a uniform fashion. They can be seen as typed modifiers that can take parameters.

Each annotation type has zero or more annotation elements that contain a name and possibly a value.
